ESPN sideline reporter Sergio Dipp has become an unlikely star of "Monday Night Football" thanks to an awkward debut.

Play-by-play commentator Beth Mowins, who became the first woman to call an NFL regular-season game since 1987, went to Dipp for a report on new Denver Broncos coach Vance Joseph during the first quarter of the Chargers-Broncos "Monday Night Football" nightcap.

Dipp hesitated and finally gave some scant details about Joseph's background before emphatically saying the coach was having "the time of his life." It turned out to be Dipp's only report of the night, but it instantly made him a trending topic online.

The 29-year-old Mexican-born Dipp has been with ESPN since 2013, but he has reported mostly for the Spanish-language ESPN Deportes.

I'm not sure how explaining that he stumbled in his English because it is his second language and that he has done most of his work in Spanish is "turning it into an immigration issue." Anyone who speaks multiple languages can tell you this is fairly common, especially in high stress situations like your first big prime time gig.

“Maybe I forgot to mention something to you: I don’t believe in queens. You think freedom is something you can give and take on a whim. But to your people, freedom is as essential as air. And without it, there is no life. There is only darkness.” -Zaheer

I'm curious, have you ever heard of the phrase "reading between the lines" ?

"Each of us must choose which course of action we should take: education, conventional political action, or even peaceful civil disobedience to bring about necessary changes. But let it not be said that we did nothing." - Ron Paul

"Paul said "the wave of the future" is a coalition of anti-authoritarian progressive Democrats and libertarian Republicans in Congress opposed to domestic surveillance, opposed to starting new wars and in favor of ending the so-called War on Drugs."

That's not what he said. People can watch it for themselves and decide what he was trying to do. He talked about 9/11, about being born in Mexico, about being a minority. That's a lot more than "sorry, English is my second language".

Have you heard of the idea of reading your own biases into the text?

"What I wanted to do was show some respect, making my debut as a minority on American national TV, the biggest stage out there, on the most heartfelt day in this great country made up by immigrants and, on some people’s perspective, it all went wrong. But I truly meant no disrespect. Because all I wanted to do was to show some love to these two historical head coaches. Hopefully I’ll have another chance and be sure I’ll make the most out of it.”

He bombed it on his first day in a stressful situation where the language he is speaking isn't his own because he is an immigrant.

You're trying to make something out of nothing.

Ya whenever I read your posts there always seems to be a really strong anti-intellectual bias.

Especially considering I was right and he actually talked about immigration per Bryan's post.

The problem is with pseudo-intellectuals. That you think empty headed airbags like Molyneaux qualify as "intellectuals" is the problem.

And I never denied he mentioned being an immigrant. The assertion is that he turned his flub into "an immigration issue." He did not. This is a false assertion. You are reading your biases into what the guy said.

You're trying to spin and misrepresent what actually happened. He definitively talks about being a minority and immigrant. He does not talk about language barriers. Who are you trying to fool? Look in the mirror spin-master.

I saw this happen live. Both his complexion and lack of accent made me think he was just a white American kid who won a contest or something to try to be a broadcaster for a day. And then he choked.

Today on ESPN, he's a hero, and it's not for choking.
